Mohr out for season per source

Gd feel bad for him. Back to back years where your season is cut extremely short. Mental grind if he’s going to fight through it and return, which I hope he does.

This team sits at 1-2. Really doesn't matter who the played on the road. They were better than both teams and lost. Basically gave both road games away in the same fashion. Is this team better than last year? Absolutely. They should be 3-0 but here we are again. Valpo will be a layup like PSU.

Other than not closing games out, I think the most frustrating thing so far for me is the RB rotation. Leigh is a good pass catcher but he’s not a very good runner, imo. Would rather see a heavier rotation of Seidl and Ziebarth. 

Especially Z.

The issue of inconsistent kicking in football could be mitigated through a more adaptive practice regimen. While the use of kicking tees provides a consistent and controlled environment, it fails to simulate the variable ball placement inherent in live-game situations. To enhance a kicker's performance under pressure, it is crucial to move beyond static practice methods.

A more effective approach would involve a training program centered on adaptability. This would entail regular practice with a rotation of different snappers and holders to prepare kickers for a variety of ball placements. The focus of this training would be on adjusting kicking mechanics to locate the ball's sweet spot regardless of its position or angle.

Furthermore, a strategic collaboration between the football program's kicking coach and a skills coach from a soccer team could be highly beneficial. This interdisciplinary approach would allow for the fine-tuning of a kicker's mechanics by leveraging specialized knowledge of the biomechanics and technique of kicking a ball under various conditions. While my own coaching days are behind me, such an innovative training model could improve the efficacy and consistency of kicking at any level of competition.  This is not an attempt to advise coaches on their profession, as they are experts in their field. Instead, it's an idea presented for consideration.

I definitely appreciate your very well written post.

100% - fairly broken logic from segments of this fanbase. What we know so far. They are close, but not there yet to beat an average P4 team or high level FCS team on the road. Very close. How does this translate to an average FCS team at home? High level FCS team at home? Elite FCS team at home? Above average / average FCS team on the road? I’m looking for a level of consistency and steady improvement. IF that happens, every game is winnable on the schedule. 

I understand the disappointment, but I don’t understand the negativity after 3 games from the product we’ve seen on the field. 
 

Well stated!

I was gone this weekend but did manage to watch the game.   This was beyond bad.   I can't believe UND didn't win this thing by a comfortable margin.    I'm not blaming the players but boy the coaches, makes me wonder if Bubba isn't somewhere on the staff.

On to Valpo.   I really think these easy games like Valpo and Portland State make things worse.   We go and blow them out and it makes it look like this team can do anything and then good teams come along and expose the weakness.   It may not be a popular thought but it's true.  I'd like to see a little more challenging teams in the non con part of the schedule.   We'll win by 40+ next week and then on to conference games.    Montana=Coulda/Shoulda/Woulda.

I mean, we went on the road to a ranked FBS and FCS team for nonconference this year and have the hardest strength of schedule in the country.
